The King's Speech

Tells the story of the man who became King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II. After his brother abdicates, George (‘Bertie’) reluctantly assumes the throne. Plagued by a dreaded stutter and considered unfit to be king, Bertie engages the help of an unorthodox speech therapist named Lionel Logue. Through a set of unexpected techniques, and as a result of an unlikely friendship, Bertie is able to find his voice and boldly lead the country through war.

Critic Reviews:

• " A strong and respectable drama that is anything but revolutionary, but admirably tells its story with dignity and grace. " – Matthew Lucas

• " Firth's performance in this great film cements his status as one of the best actors working today. " – Micheal Compton

• " The King's Speech lingers in the mind and the emotions long after it ends, communicating to us in the spirit of Logue's work. " – Abbie Bernstein
